An Outfit and Some Favorites

Hello blog world! Alright well I'm definitely putting myself out there with this, but I wanted to share an outfit with you that I came up with for my father-in-law's retirement banquet. I am usually not this creative nor do I think that my outfits are worth sharing really at all, but I got excited. I didn't really have anything to wear (a couple of my dresses have gotten um...a little too small, working on that!) so I improvised. I put this slightly oversized short-sleeved black sweater over this nice lacey dress that I have literally had for about 6 years. Put that with some beige shoes and hoop earrings and bam- a new outfit!

You never know what you have lurking around in your closet!

Now here's a possible future outfit that may make it to the blog-- I got this dress shopping with a friend and I paid 14$ for it. Originally it was 44$! I love a bargain!

And now for something that is just a favorite. It's a Tyler Candle Company candle that has the Birthday Cake scent. I loooove anything that smells like cake or cookies. The Tyler Candle Company has great candles and lots of scents so check them out. Plus the packaging is cute too, and I'm a sucker for cute presentation. You can buy them at Sample House in the DFW area! I am already enjoying it!

Sequin Me!

I really want to know how it is that some people are able to get their driver's license and peruse the streets of our towns. I almost got side-swiped AT LEAST 3 times today, saw about 3 other people almost get side-swiped and got cut off by a bus. Some days I just feel like everyone got the "drive crazy" memo but me!

Anyways, onto the topic of today. I saw this via Glamour Fashion's twitter- a way to wear sequins in the DAY!! Fabulous for me because, well, I love sequins (who doesn't love some sparkle) but often don't really have anything glamorous enough to wear sequins to. This look would be a little daring and would probably get you some attention but I think I might try it and just wear it with confidence!  It would be a really fun fall weekend look. I think darker sequins would be better to keep it understated- of course you could go bright if you wanted to! If I try this outfit (er...WHEN I try this outfit) I'll be sure to post pics! If you love sequins you should give it a try too. ;-)
